Official The Alchemist's Second Brewery Thread

@Jbrews Not a pub or restaurant, just tasting and packaged retail. This is a new stand-alone brewery for Stowe, in addition to the cannery in Waterbury. Since the existing facility is not open to the public for retail or tastings, the new spot is designed specifically to accommodate visitors and customers. Heady will continue to be produced at the cannery; the similarly-scaled Stowe space (approx. 9000 bbl. annual) will allow John to happily put a couple of his other styles into regular production. Search the Stowe Reporter for a few online articles about the project thus far. We (Austin Design) will be covering the process thoroughly after we get through permitting. Cheers!

 

Thanks for the update!

 

All of this I knew, the pub word threw me off. I was expecting a tasting area at best there.

 

New information on the next sale of Focal Banger and Petit Mutant has been posted on their blog.

Makes a ton of sense, but super bummed that truck sales are over. Definitely the smoothest run beer releases I've been to, and an easy trip to make every couple months. Oh well - this event looks to be just as awesome, but different.

If I don't win a ticket and anyone is interested in swapping some of their Petit Mutant for Luscious, plz shoot me a pm.

 

Damn, same day as Extreme Beerfest.

 

My thoughts exactly!

 

too bad because i really miss their meatloaf on Red Hen bread.

 

Has anyone heard yea or nay yet on their lottery entry?

 

Big fat Denied here.

 

Denied here as well. I told a buddy about ~35 minutes before noon and he got in. Of course! I wonder how we will know whether or not we are on the lottery

Edit--he also found out about half an hour before my denial email came. Think those might've all gone out first.

 

Got a email confirmation around 3:20. Two tickets for me. Alchemist facebook said there was over 1000 entrys.

 

I got tickets and my friends all backed out of accompanying me. Anybody want to come as my guest? PM me.

 

Wasn't selected either. Now that some here know they're in, please shoot me a message if you missed December and want to swap some Luscious for Mutant.

 

What an offer! Awesome man. Sadly, I did not enter and can't go due to EBF. But I sure hope someone takes you up and sets you up with a few choice brews for your generosity..

 

Got confirmed. Talked the gf into going shopping while I go pick up the beer haha.

 

This is such balls. I never got any damn cans before because 5 am wakeup to get some and now there's no way I'll ever be seeing any. Guess I'll have to keep supporting the brewers that actually make their stuff accessible beyond luck.

 

Did anybody go to the release party? How was it? Have not heard anything...

 

I can't imagine anyone doing a release much more impressive than this one. It was very chill and at an incredible venue.

 

It was super well done. Congrats to John and Jen Kimmich!
